- The German Government has proposed changes to the VAT Act through the Growth Opportunities Act.
- One key proposal is the introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing for specific B2B transactions.
- These e-invoices will align with European standards and apply when both supplier and customer are in Germany.
- The amendment also aims to streamline bureaucracy for small businesses, particularly under Section 19 of the German VAT Act.
- The mandatory e-invoicing provision is planned for implementation in 2025.
- This marks a significant shift in tax technology and compliance for businesses in Germany.
